Note that airlines like AF now re-offer tray service on flights half that length in Y (without local exceptions) and even AZ above 3 hours. The "local caterer" excuse is lame too as there are local caterers able to provide full meals.
Certainly Greek holiday airports such as HER and RHO do have local caterers (usually Newrest) which can supply full meals and deliver them to the plane. Other airports such as KGS, MYK or JTR have no such facility however. It is no coincidence that the airports with flight kitchens are also those which are seasonal bases for Aegean Airlines, rather than just night-stops.
CFU is nowhere near a 4 hour flight, it is advertised as 3 hours 10 minutes
